Chapter 183 Master? You dare to say that?

Shi Ying did not return to the city lord's mansion immediately, but dealt with her father's affairs first before returning to the mansion alone.

I ran into the town mayor as soon as I entered.

"Colonel Shi."

The town mayor greeted Shi Ying first, his tone very respectful.

Many people present witnessed firsthand how much importance His Excellency Sang Qing placed on this beast husband, and currently His Excellency Sang Qing only has this one beast husband.

Looking at the young man in front of him, he was also handsome and had a dignified demeanor. He had become a colonel at a young age, no wonder he was favored by Lord Sang Qing.

Shi Ying was not surprised by the mayor's attitude. He was clearly aware of how much Sang Qing protected him, and in a good mood, he gave a rare, slight smile in response.

Seeing that Shi Ying was easy to talk to, the town mayor praised Shi Ying for being young and promising before leaving.

……

Inside the house, Sang Qing had just finished showering, but despite being exhausted from the day, she wasn't sleepy at all.

Lying on an unfamiliar bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

She raised her hand to touch her lips, and the scene that flashed through her mind made her heart skip a beat, and her cheeks felt slightly warm.

Sang Qing felt somewhat agitated and inexplicably restless.

No, she has to divorce Shi Ying as soon as possible!

This is nothing like me.

Sang Qing sat up abruptly in bed, about to go and talk to Shi Ying, but bumped into Shi Ying bringing over a first-aid kit to apply medicine to her.

"You were injured while saving me, so I should take responsibility for you both morally and logically," Shi Ying said, her words reasonable and convincing, leaving no reason for anyone to refuse.

Following Shi Ying's gaze, she realized that she had accidentally burned her ankle.

It wasn't serious, just a few small blisters that would heal on their own in a couple of days, so she didn't pay any attention to it.

Sang Qing sat on the edge of the bed, one of her feet held in Shi Ying's palm.

Shi Ying half-squatted in front of her, carefully punctured the blisters with a sterilized needle, gently absorbed the yellow fluid with a clean cloth, and then applied a cooling ointment.

From Sang Qing's angle, one can easily see Shi Ying's perfect facial curves.

Shi Ying had probably just taken a shower; her messy, damp hair fell loosely on her forehead, giving her a relaxed look.

He tilted his head, revealing a faint, small scar on his left eyebrow.

Sang Qing still remembers Shi Ying's stubborn and fierce nature when she first met him.

Better to be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile.

After waiting for Shi Ying to finish dealing with the situation, Sang Qing solemnly said, "Shi Ying, we can get a divorce sooner rather than later."

Shi Ying's hand holding her ankle froze instantly. She looked up abruptly, unable to believe her ears, and it took her a long time to find her voice.

"What did you say?"

"You want a divorce?"

His voice was filled with disbelief.

“Yes.” Sang Qing nodded, thinking Shi Ying hadn’t heard her clearly, her tone even more certain.

Shi Ying's body trembled, her voice hoarse, "Is it because I forced you during the day?"

Mentioning this made Sang Qing's face flush.

Before she could answer, Shi Ying continued, "I'm sorry, I... I couldn't help myself for a moment. I won't do that again."

Shi Ying stared intently at Sang Qing, her tone solemn as if she were making a vow.

"Apart from that, I haven't made any major mistakes, so what right do you have to divorce me?"

Shi Ying tried hard to remain calm, but she couldn't hide the brokenness in her eyes and her already disordered breathing.

The last sentence was almost a low growl, the voice deep and suppressed, as if carrying the roar of a wounded beast.

Sang Qing frowned. When did she say she was getting a divorce?
There is a big difference between taking a break and getting a divorce.

But Shi Ying's reaction...

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Sang Qing looked puzzled, staring directly into Shi Ying's eyes.

Shi Ying choked, then turned her head away in a hoarse voice, "No."

Ok?
It's not what I imagined.

Seeing that Sang Qing didn't speak, Shi Ying unconsciously tightened her grip on Sang Qing's ankle, but avoided the injured area, her eyes reddening: "Am I some worthless thing? You can take me when you want, and throw me away when you're done?"

Although the question was delivered with a fierce tone, it was not difficult to detect the tremor in the voice.

Sang Qing: “…”

Sang Qing subconsciously tried to pull her foot away, but couldn't.

Shi Ying gripped her hand even tighter, as if afraid she would run away.

There was a "boom" sound.

Shi Ying suddenly knelt down, half-kneeling in front of her, and pressed her face against the inside of her soles.

"Didn't you say I was your cat, master?"

The beast lowered its stance, but its gaze remained fixed on its prey, its questioning eyes determined to get an answer.

Sang Qing was taken aback, staring intently at Shi Ying for a long time. Suddenly, a playful smile appeared on her face. "Master?"

He stepped on Shi Ying's hand with his other foot, pushed it away slightly, and pulled his foot back. "You think you're worthy?"

Shi Ying was pushed back slightly, opened her mouth, but could not say anything.

There was a time when I said the same thing.

But now, the same words are back at him.

The words of rebuttal rolled around in his throat, finally turning into a hoarse, unwilling voice: "Don't you need a beastman?"

"Not now."

Sang Qing turned on the personal terminal and handed a test report to Shi Ying.

Shi Ying looked at the keywords on the test report and remained silent.

S-level therapist.

They possess many privileges, including the right to choose their own spouse.

Even without a beast husband, the mainframe will not force her to be assigned one.

Having another beastly husband would only take away from the number of times she needs to receive mental therapy.

Time flowed in silence, the air heavy as if frozen. Shi Ying finally raised his eyes, his voice low yet carrying a resolute strength:

"I will not divorce him. My husband has not made any mistakes in principle, and I cannot easily abandon him."

Sang Qing raised an eyebrow. "You're stopping me from taking other beast husbands; you're being jealous."

Shi Ying gritted her teeth, "It was clearly your tacit approval."

He took a half-step forward, almost touching the edge of the bed. "Didn't you say you'd grant me a request last time?"

He looked up into Sang Qing's eyes and said firmly, "I won't leave."

Sang Qing frowned, and after thinking for a while, she remembered that it was a promise she made when Shi Ying saved her last time.

However, she would not offer herself to him.

Besides, she had saved Shi Ying's life, but she didn't ask him to repay her with his body.

"At most until the contract expires."

Sang Qing pulled her legs up onto the bed, yawned lazily, and decided not to tease him anymore.

Shi Ying looked at Sang Qing for a while, and finally said in a deep voice, "Okay."

Seeing that Shi Ying agreed, Sang Qing lay down and snuggled into the quilt.

Once she figured things out, she wouldn't be so troubled that she couldn't sleep.

She spent the whole day traveling and handled official business all night; she's really tired.

Sang Qing quickly fell asleep, but Shi Ying did not leave.

He stood up from the ground and lay down next to Sang Qing, just as he had done many times before.

The moonlight, so bright, streamed in through the thin gauze window.

Shi Ying looked at the sleeping female's face and felt a burning hatred.

How could she be so heartless?

When Sang Qing proposed a divorce, he panicked.

The feeling of losing something important, an indescribable sorrow, spread through his heart, almost making it hard for him to breathe.

He remembered that she had said that the marriage would be dissolved after a year, and that she would not interfere with his freedom during that time.

He thought it was just to appease him after he made a casual remark, since at the time he thought females were often untrustworthy.

As time went on, he had long forgotten about it.

I didn't expect her to be telling the truth.

Looking back now, she really didn't interfere with his freedom; she was excessively lenient with herself.

She did it.

But he regretted it.

"I don't care. If you mess with me, you have to take responsibility. Don't even think about getting rid of me."

The male claimed the treasure as his territory, buried his face in his hair, and whispered domineeringly.

He knew that she slept soundly when she was tired, that she didn't wake up at night, and that she had very low guard.

Therefore, he acted recklessly.

Even if she gets found out, it doesn't matter, she's getting a divorce anyway.

There's one month left in the year-long period.

He wanted more than just a month; he wanted her forever, he wanted her to love him.

They're right, males are all greedy and always want more.

Where the moonlight couldn't reach, what was exposed in those golden pupils was nothing but ambition.
